Collaborative research at CeNS

The CeNS investment funds are designed to support joint research initiatives within CeNS, with a focus on collaborations involving junior groups and postdocs. By providing this seed funding, we help kick-start innovative projects, allowing researchers to explore new ideas and attract further investment or partnerships.
